I am beginning the review below. (CK)Lakeshade✽talk2me 22:14, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

• "Burke premiered on August 25, 2009, on The Chris Moyles Show." Two issues, what did she premier? and needs to be in UK Date format. Done

• "The song received mostly positive reviews commending Burke's vocals and the mainstream R&B/pop feel and production of the song." Somewhat of a run on sentence, needs to be rephrased.  Done

• "Matthew Chisling of Allmusic "the most brilliant, perfect mainstream pop single of 2009", You are missing a word. I think you need noted or stated. after allmusic.  Done

• "The review Burke's vocals, calling[...] Huh? im not sure what your saying, your missing a word. {done-t}}

• Alexis Petrids of The Guardian noted although some may see the single as "generic", and "currently pop's factory-default setting", said the song was "a superior example of the type, furnished with an effortlessly unshakeable chorus".[8] Needs to be rewritten, doesnt flow, and missing a word which i cant quite put my finger on to which word it is. Its after [...]setting", [missing word] said the[...]  Done

• Although Harry Guerin of RTÉ noted[...] Please replace although, he didnt state anything before the sentence so it shouldnt start with although.  Done

Like on the BYR review, Although is fine, no grammar disputes and the "although" is resolved after the comma.

• "It also gave Flo Rida his second number one single in the United Kingdom. The song also debuted on the Irish Singles Chart at number one, propelling it do debut on the European Hot 100 at number five.[a] The song fell off the top spot in the second week, ceding the throne to Cheryl Cole's "Fight for This Love".[b] It was certified platinum in the United Kingdom, and spent 25 consecutive weeks in the top seventy-five on the UK Singles Chart.[12] It spent 25 consecutive weeks in the UK Top 75." This needs more references and you have the same statement stated twice, remove where ive striked out please :)  Done

Removed info that could'nt be referenced, and added some, fixed!

• All dates are written in American form, Please change to UK format (eg: 15 June 2010)  Done

• Your references are not properly formatted, alot are italicized when the shoudlnt be.  Done

3 More Issues:

• "It was certified platinum in the United Kingdom, and spent 25 consecutive weeks in the top seventy-five on the UK Singles Chart.[14] It spent 25 consecutive weeks in the UK Top 75. " Double stating of the same thing, remove where ive striked out please.  Done

• The image is, 400x400. Images should not exceed 300x300. Please re-upload.  Done

• The video' then cuts to Flo Rida who sings the opening lines of the song. The video then shows Alexandra performing various dance moves in deserted streets while being followed by several men. The video then shows Alexandra entering a bar in a mirrored silver dress, which has been compared to Janet Jackson around the janet. era, where she is mobbed by more of these men. 3 Same opening statements, please rephrase.  Done

Everything should be good now, hopefully.

The article for the most part is well written, it just needs some minor adjustments. Please correct these ASAP and if i dont manage to find any other errors i will pass the article. Please avoid placing responses here as it makes the page extremely long, instead please post any concerns, questions or comments on my talk page under a new section. =) Nice work!
